Crazy Tube Circuits Constellation OC41 Fuzz Pedal

The Crazy Tube Circuits Constellation is a Hall of Fame collection of pioneering fuzz circuits from the 60's. Using hand-selected NOS germanium transistors, the Constellation covers a range of fuzz and treble boost settings from dark and wooly, crackly lo-fi, to brilliant treble boost. Germanium transistors will react very differently to pickup load and input gain, and for that reason are best placed early in the signal chain. They are known to turn down and clean up very well, and some of the best tones are found with the the gain up, and the guitar volume rolled off, producing tasty and dimensional clean tones. Yes, clean(ish) tones. Trust us.

Not just for punk and psychedelic music, a good fuzz pedal can form the foundation of your entire signal chain, and few pedals give you more options than the Constellation. 

In the word of Crazy Tube Circuits....

A multi-mode Germanium fuzz / booster inspired by British classic Fuzz boxes of the past.

All analog, featuring germanium transistors for smooth and deep complex tone with amazing clean-up.
We hand select 3 New Old Stock Germanium transistors for each pedal ensuring ideal performance and consistency. 

OC45 transistor version (all white print) has a tad less bottom end, more chime and slightly better clean-up.
OC41 transistor version (white and cyan print) offers more of a balanced tone.

A smart switching circuit gives you 6 toneful fuzz / boost settings.
You can select between four different fuzz sounds, a treble booster, plus a custom combination of them.

FF: Inspired by the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, one of the most notable fuzz pedals in history
VTB: Inspired by the Vox ToneBender, a brighter but at the same time “polite” fuzz pedal.
3/2: Inspired by the Sola Sound Tone Bender Mk 1.5 often described as a darker and heavier Fuzz Face.
2: Inspired by the Sola Sound Tone Bender MkII, a wild saturated fuzz with lots of sustain.
RM: Inspired by the Dallas Rangemaster, a treble booster pedal typically used to increase treble content, gain and sustain of already overdriven tube amplifiers.
RMFF: A custom combination of a treble booster into a fuzz face that gives a bright and nasty fuzz sound tailor-made to cut through the mix.
